Am I getting the warning below because there is a period in the lib name? mygui-devel.i686: E: invalid-soname /usr/lib/libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so
If so, is it really an error?
(far behind with some of my folders)
As no reply is listed in this thread:
rpmlint verbose info would say: '''The soname of the library is neither of the form lib<libname>.so.<major> or lib<libname>-<major>.so.''',
The period really isn't the problem, the missing version number is. Often it's an error because it bears a higher risk of causing breakage.
Btw, "mygui" in Fedora 14 is mispackaged related to this. This lib has been moved into a private directory %_libdir/MYGUI/ where it is placed outside run-time linker's search path. The lib isn't found by the -tools and -demos, which are linked with it. Additionally, some of the packages suffer from unowned directories.
Thanks. I filed a bug about this. I'll look at getting things fixed for this, probably in an F16 time frame, as it will be past beta by the time I get a chance to look at it in depth and I don't want to break other packages.
No other packages depend on it:
$ repoquery --alldeps --whatrequires mygui mygui-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.i686 mygui-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-demos-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-devel-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.i686 mygui-devel-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64 mygui-tools-0:3.0.1-5.fc15.x86_64
Actually, to have the run-time linker find libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so in %_libdir/MYGUI/, the package adds a file in /etc/ld.so.conf/. Rather pointless, because then it could be stored directly in %_libdir instead.
Currently, the reinstalled -demos and -tools seem to work, too, so the problems with unowned dirs are minor.
On F-15, libMyGUI.OgrePlatform.so is duplicated, as it is included also in mygui-devel ... directly in %_libdir. ;)
